proxying to a different context

I have an Irule in place that does the following. It takes /context and then passes it off to a pool member to process /context.

 

So for example www.myurl.com/security the irule passes /security off to our security pool of application servers that respond to /security.

 

However, what I would like to do now is have /security get proxied off to a security pool but change the context from /security to /newsecurity yet to the client browser they still see /security. Follow?

 

I have been digging around and have a couple ideas but would appreciate any hints or suggestions.

 

thanks

    e.g.

     config

root@ve10(Active)(tmos) list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
    destination 172.28.24.9:http
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    pool foo
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        qux
    }
    snat automap
}
root@ve10(Active)(tmos) list ltm pool foo
ltm pool foo {
    members {
        200.200.200.101:http { }
    }
}
root@ve10(Active)(tmos) list ltm rule qux
ltm rule qux {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/security/" } {
    HTTP::uri [string map {/security/ /newsecurity/} [HTTP::uri]]
  }
}
}
